Kubota L5740
The Kubota L5740 compact utility tractor is the largest and the most powerful machine in the Kubota L40 series. The engine powering it is an E-TVCS diesel, just like on the rest of the L40 series. However, this engine is more powerful than the rest in the series. It has a maximum net power output of 57 hp and a maximum gross power output of 59 hp. The engine is a 4 stroke, 4 cylinder model that that has a total displacement of 2.434 liters. The engine is turbocharged and has a rated speed of 2700 rpm. The L5740 is started by a 12 volt battery that provides 582 cold cranking amps to the engine. The open operator station model uses a 45 amp alternator to charge the battery, while the model with a cab uses a 60 amp alternator to charge the battery.
The Kubota L5740 uses a HST Plus hydrostatic transmission to bring power from the engine to the wheels. This transmission operates over 3 ranges (Hi, Med, Lo) which means that it doesn’t require much gear changing, allowing the operator to direct his concentration on to other activities. This hydrostatic transmission gives the L 5740 a top speed of 25.9 kph (16.1 mph) going forwards and in reverse it has a top speed of 23.3 kph (14.5 mph) which is almost just as fast.
The Kubota L5740 compact utility tractor has a minimum turning radius of just 2.8 m when the 4WD mode has been turned off and the wet disc brakes are being used. If you are looking for less powerful machines that are similar to the L 5740, then you should strongly consider checking out the Kubota L4740, Kubota L5040 or even the Kubota L5240 tractors. The weight of the tractor with an open operator station comes to 1770 kg (3902 lbs), while with a cab it tips the scales at 1920 kg (4233 lbs).

i loved this model for 5 years but now they suck.
My tractor has not had a problem starting even in -25c weather. Runs like it should. Just doesn’t have a block heater like it should in northern Alberta.
I pull a 15’ shulte batwing mower at 4-6 mph in 1.5’ of grass. The only thing is that Kubota has put too weak of a draw bar on. I have broken 2 so far since I have owned it. The old fordson tractors had a better draw bar !!
